As Ruprecht expected, even if there was unrest within Germany, even if the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction led by the Social Democratic Party had already stood in an absolute opposition, there would still be a scene of hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides facing each other in Germany, which is definitely Germany's luck. However, there are exceptions in everything, and the military's attitude in this matter is ambiguous. It's not that they want to wait for a price between the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction, but that from the current situation, they chose the situation that is most beneficial to the German Empire. This is also the fundamental reason why Ruprecht dared to look at the wall! The crown prince gave twelve praises to the top leaders of the Prussian Army!

However, this is a political turmoil that has affected the whole country. Neither the German Emperor nor the parliament would place their hopes on their opponents, so this turmoil will still have fierce confrontation in general peace. The Hohenzollern family, as a unified Germany, and the family of comrades in Germany for nearly 50 years, naturally has a group of loyalists. The Social Democratic Party, as the largest party in the country, is also closely linked to industrial capitalists. They also have limited military power. Although they cannot compare with the existence of the kingdom, it is still possible to gather troops stronger than a large priest!

So, this "National Army" composed of loyal personnel sent by the parliament met with the Little Moltkes troops from the Grand Duchy of Baden in Hesse-Nassau District! The person who commanded this "National Army" was Albert's chief military adviser, former Army Colonel Mr. Bühler.

"Mr. Commander, our vanguard troops have arrived in Heilbronn. According to the information we have collected, the Baden Legion opposite will be in the southern suburbs of Heilbronn for up to 3 hours. We have deployed a cordon." An officer said to Boole, who was looking at the map.

Heilbronn is an important transportation hub gathering point. If the tens of thousands of troops of Moltke wanted to go north quickly, they had to occupy it, and then take the train as a base or go north along the road. By the same token, if the parliamentary faction wanted to remove the Grand Duchy of Baden, the largest state loyal to the German emperor, they also had to occupy it and go south.

Therefore, this city became the focus of the competition between the two sides, not only in military significance, but also in a political sense. The Grand Duchy of Baden is the first among all influential countries in Germany to clearly support the German Emperor. If the parliamentary faction can kill the Grand Duchy of Baden, then the German Emperor will become unprecedentedly isolated in the German states. If the army of the Grand Duchy of Baden can severely damage the parliamentary faction, it is equivalent to telling the world that the so-called "national army" is nothing more than a paper tiger. The so-called wall is falling and everyone pushes it. The original fence faction will stand on the side of the German Emperor without hesitation!

Therefore, the parliamentary sent without hesitation to equip the troops with the most elite equipment and the best personnel. This army of 20,000 in size even had an elite armored team composed of cricket tanks and hornet assault guns. All the artillery was towed. (Of course, the towed vehicles themselves were various, and many vehicles were directly collected along the way) The 8 150mm large-caliber howitzers and 18 105mm howitzers lined up behind the troops became the core equipment of this troops!

As for where these artillery came from? It’s very simple. Although the hundreds of thousands of reserves and newly built troops in Germany have been compressed to the limit, it is still possible to get these weapons. Many of the weapons and equipment are pulled out from the military factories in the control area. Therefore, it is more than enough to arm such a small army, and this is not even the entire force of the parliamentary army!

Compared with these equipment, it is more difficult for officers and soldiers who can truly fight and resist pressure. There are few veterans and experienced officers in the rear troops, and most of these people are controlled by neutral factions, which has led to the low combat quality of this unit. Fortunately, it is still a division-level unit, which is within the ability of Commander Bree. Before, they have commanded regiment-level combat! They have served as military staff.

The situation on the side of Moltke is a bit bad. Although the troops are of good quality, their equipment level is a little worse. On the one hand, it is naturally because the military strength of the Grand Duchy of Baden itself is not good. Most of the forces are still against the British and French forces on the Western Front, while on the other hand, Moltke underestimated the enemy. He pursues fast and light equipment, and wants to advance to Berlin quickly and then cut the throat with one sword. He never thought that he would encounter a division-level combat unit with elite armored troops as soon as he left the house!

"If we establish a defensive offensive in the city, then we can at least ensure that we can defend here. General Moltke's troops are not large, at most 15,000, but their combat qualities are definitely much stronger than ours." said a staff officer.

"No, avoid the city of Heilbronn, we fight with the little Moltke in the wild." In just a few seconds, Buller decided not to fight street battles in the city, but to pull out a dignified field battle! This is not only because Buller has confidence in his tanks and artillery, but more importantly, he does not want to fight a tragic street battle in Germany!

"Our hands and weapons must not be contaminated with too much blood from civilians. This will be a nightmare that we cannot escape in our lives. Maybe now, someone will defend us, saying that this is just a need for struggle, but in five years, ten years later? Even if the parliamentary delegation succeeds and the Social Democrats are in power, what will those politicians do when people have forgotten what we have done? They will call us the butchers of Heilbronn and the executioner! They will come up with ten thousand reasons to condemn us, and we will not argue. Even if we will not be accused, trust me, we will definitely leave a lifetime of guilt and guilt in our hearts." Bühler said.

So, at Buller's insistence, his troops bypassed the Heilbronn city and launched a battle formation in the wilderness in the southern part of the city. The soldiers began to dig trenches. The heavy artillery was also unloaded from the trailer and placed on the newly selected artillery position.

Shortly after Buller's legion was launched, Xiao Moltke's troops finally appeared! "The opponent did not defend the city, but chose to fight in the field. There is a relatively bad news that the opponent may have armored troops. Our reconnaissance planes found a large number of armored vehicles and traces of their march." At this time, Xiao Moltke was also constantly analyzing the opponent. Based on the information obtained from air reconnaissance, Xiao Moltke found that he seemed to be underestimating the opponent.
